Multiple Versions of YARARARA on Apple Music?

[Bookworm2]

I was listening to my Apple Music playlist earlier, and I noticed that the version of Yararara on my playlist seemed to have been removed from Apple Music. When I went to check, however, I found multiple versions of the song, and I don't know which one is the original. There's one under an artist named YuOtaTetu, which I'm fairly certain is a reupload, and two under AnythingBecomeMoe, the original producer of the song. Under the page for AnythingBecomeMoe, there are only two songs, and they're both Yararara. One has just AnythingBecomeMoe listed as the producer, and the release date roughly matches when the song released on YouTube, but the name's different in formatting, so I think that's why my playlist kicked it out. The other has AnythingBecomeMoe listed as producer, but it also has another artist named "skrvsyn" listed as producer alongside AnythingBecomeMoe, and the release date is almost a month after the YouTube release. Does anyone know why this happened?

Okay, got confirmation from ABM's Twitter on what the deal is. There is only one version of Yararara on any streaming service, and it's on Spotify: .
As of currently, it is taken down due to false copyright claims on it, but this is the only "official" version. Any versions on Apple Music or other streaming services are reuploaded and do not fund ABM whatsoever. I highly encourage you delete them from your library and/or playlist.

한 가지만 말할게. 나는 현재 모든 음원 사이트에서 YARARARA를 업로드하지 않은 상태야. 지금 있는 노래들은 전부 사칭범들이 올린 거야.

안녕하세요, ABM입니다. 현재 음원 '야라라라'와 관련하여 발생하고 있는 문제에 대해 공식 입장을 밝힙니다. 최근 저를 사칭하여 음원 '야라라라'에 대한 허위 소유권을 주장하고, 이를 음악 플랫폼에 무단 업로드하는 행위가 지속해서 반복되고 있습니다. 현재 사칭자가 무단 게재한 앨범을 전량

oh dear. Yeah, I've heard of other situations where copyright trolls have abused a loophole to claim others work as their own + correct royalties or even just nuke the entire work off the internet.

One notable situation was with Cookie's Bustle, a game made by a defunct company with no active copyrights. Someone was able to falsely claim ownership and get any footage of the game taken down. the Video Game History Foundation has a detailed blog on how they were able to fight back against this.

It's really vile how a third party is able to claim legal copyrights and profit on a song who's original owner is still active in the community...
